So, we just got back from milwaukee. Today was run-of-the mill...although I did get some supercool stuff Dan picked up for me in Rockford. The oldschool debut EP of a band called 'lift to experience.' They only pressed a few thousand of them in 1997, and somehow I just got one last thursday. Not to mention they shipped it from Scottland in less that a week! Amazing. Going to see the anniversary was fantastic..they played their entire new album (not out 'til january) and a bunch of old songs on top of that. The new stuff is good, but I'd say it's quite a bit different from their first record (you can download one song here..it's called 'sweet marie'..which leads me to believe they dig Bob Dylan) And get this--the keyboardist is a cute girl, and she was walking through the crowd during one of the opening acts, and she touched us. Now, maybe I shouldn't be excited about that...I know, not a big deal, right? But you gotta have things to get excited about in life. Plus, c'mon. Cute Rockstar girl. Can't beat that on your average Thursday night.

So, there's this girl Xouhoa (pronounced sue-ah) who goes to school in Milwaukee, and Dan and I had considered calling her today to see if she wanted to go to the show, but we didn't know her number. Well, get this--she was at the show anyway. So that was great. We ate some dinner with her and this guy Morgan after the show. Turns out Dan and I went to gradeschool with Morgan, but both of us only remember his sister. He was a year younger than us, she wasn't. We drove back to NIU with a quick stop at Hucks in Rockford. Now, Dan and I are watching Ed in the dormroom. He insists we must see it before we sleep. Overall, I'd give this night...like a seven or eight out of ten. I'm very satisfied. Although, DBC on the Late Late show was really dissapointing...I don't know what happened, Chris dropped the ball hardcore. Both with his singing and his hair. But, then again...I can't write songs like that. So I suppose I'll cut him some slack this time. Lots of other stuff did happen today...but I just don't have the will to write about it right now. So, maybe later.
